Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I read alone and the same passage gives me the same handful of things every time
• I race through scripture to cover ground and extract the point, and none of it lands
• I keep reading the same paragraph three times because halfway through I’m already skimming ahead just to "get through it," and I never let any one chunk land before I’m racing on to the next one.
• When I tell my own stories I breeze right past the parts that light me up because they feel ordinary to me
• I race through spiritual books the way I race through everything
